Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

What happened Clonoe- All Ireland favourites out

[laceer]

I can understand the amalgamation thing, it would mean the players could play at a higher level which would be better for their development. However what about the actual grade 4 teams, if teams are amalgamating who are the grade 4 teams going to play? Only going to be about 5 teams in grade 4 

That's the only benefit I see with amalgamation. But surely it should be a last resort for clubs. If you have numbers then play under your own club. It's up to the committee to develop what you have.

If you amalgamate with numbers then weaker lads will ultimately get left behind and get weaker.

I know years ago Killyman people would say the old Naomh Mhuire team ruined them. When players ultimately stayed or went to Edendork.

That is nonsense.

What happened Clonoe- All Ireland favourites out

That's twice in the last 3 years the all Ireland favourites at intermediate and junior (clonoe, Cookstown) haven't won it. They will both have another crack at it in 2 years time.

What happened Clonoe- All Ireland favourites out

They met a team that had finished 4th in Division One.

Would Clogher be a small club in terms of playing numbers, membership etc?

Whats your source for this?

[Wee Roddy]

I would very much question these figures as well. I think Carrickmores youth membership is well over 500 this number of years

[WeeDonns]

Whats your source for this?

Tyrone GAA Annual Report to County Convention 2024

The figures are for registered members. I'm sure we're all aware that some clubs don't register 100% of their members, keeping the fees withing the club - something which comes back to bite them when All-Ireland tickets are being distributed.
Camogie & LGFA Memberships wouldn't be included. I removed the hurling only clubs.
Interesting to compare size V ranking; many clubs roughly where they "should be" with some over/under achievers

[befair]

Just saw video of another free-for-all at the Paul McGirr tournament. Burren were the Down team, don't know the Tyrone team involved. Not the first, I remember a famous video circulating some years ago that even an All-Black's forward commented on

Good to see them clonoe boys bate

Couple of things here.

Registering a male member, to the best of my knowledge (I'm 3 years out of the loop to be fair) doesn't cost anything. When I was looking after things for Ballyholland, fees paid to both county board and central funds (insurance) are based on the number of teams entered, and not on the number of players. So if you've 40 players at say u14 and need 2 teams, the fee wouldn't change whether all 40 players are registered, or just 10.

Also... are Foireann teamsheets not a thing in Tyrone juvenile football? They're now pretty much omnipresent in Down football. Players can't appear on those unless they're registered centrally.

Foireann definitely has some major plus points.

Some clubs use the foireann template, some just use their own excel/word templates. Obviously all players still need to be registered for competitive games (u13 and up in tyrone)

Alot of clubs wouldn't officially register u6/u8/u10 players etc in Tyrone.

Rules question, Peter Harte missed the Errigal Ardboe R1 championship game 2025, was that because he got a straight red in the AI Club final?
